WP:BLP, written very much like a résumé, of a person with no particularly strong claim of notability for much more than existing. The article's sole source is written by him, not about him, and is thus a primary source that cannot demonstrate his notability — and there's some unsourced personal information in here (e.g. "In 2010, Garrett was diagnosed with high functioning mixed affective states, which requires community support and medication. He currently manages his illness well.") which is "insider" enough to imply conflict of interest by someone who knows him personally. I'm willing to withdraw this if it can be rewritten and sourced properly as an encyclopedia article about a notable medical doctor, but in this state it's a delete.

 * Delete - I'm struggling to find evidence of notability regarding this person. The article appears to simply be an autobiography in some places ("I applied", "I had", etc.). Thine Antique Pen (talk) 19:04, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete (If possible) The article is a quite sad autobiography. I deleted the last sections where a number of unsourced initiatives by the non-notable subject are announced. No notability whatsoever. No search results. Were it not for the sad ring to what it says, I would wonder if it was all just made up.New Media Theorist (talk) 02:12, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
